After 50 years of fighting, the FARC guerrillas agreed in 2016 to get rid of their weapons. By relearning peace, the country also discovers a hard reality of the life of the fighters of this group of Marxist rebellion. For five decades of fighting and survival in the Colombian jungle, women have been banned from having children. Those who could not avoid pregnancy were obliged to get an abortion or abandon the baby. Since peace was signed, life has been the first choice and they experienced hundreds pregnancies. A real baby boom. For these new mothers it is the time of rebirth.
